I'd recommend that you remove the anonymous_enable line and try again without it.

Do you have Windows line breaks in your file? If so, you might try recreating it by pasting the lines directly into an editor in your SSH window.

I also don't see a line for "file" in our example .conf file in http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =46&t=4268. What example .conf are you using?
